188 Driving and Driving Safety
Dynamic Engine Mounting (PADM)
On vehicles with Sport Chrono package
Dynamic Engine Mounting with variable damping is a system designed to enhance both driving dynamics and driving comfort. Depending on the driving situation, the ideal mounting rigidity and damping is automatically set in the range between an rigid engine-to-body connection (increase in driving dynamics) and decoupling of the engine from the body (increase in driving comfort).
“Sport” mode
When “ Sport” mode is switched on, a more rigid engine-to-body connection is achieved for a sporty driving style.
“Sport Plus” mode
When “ Sport Plus” mode is switched on, an optimal engine-to-body connection is achieved for driving on race circuits.
Warning message
Dynamic engine mounting faults are indicated by a warning message on the multi-function display.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
“Sport” and “Sport Plus” mode
The selectable chassis settings mean that the vehicle can offer various modes for a sportier overall setup.The “ Sport” mode pushes the control systems more in the direction of greater emotionality and performance during every day driving.
In “ Sport Plus” mode, maximum performance is set for race-circuit-like driving:– In “ Sport Plus” mode: PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) is automatically changed to “ Chassis Normal” or “Chassis Sport” mode. – In “ Sport Plus” mode: Like PASM, PDCC is switched to the corresponding “ Sport” mode, whereby the rolling movements of the vehicle are reduced further, depending on the selected mode.– The PDK transmission switches to a sporty gear-changing map and shortens the gear shifting times when Sport mode is activated. Gear changes take place faster.– The electronic accelerator pedal reacts sooner, and the engine is more responsive to throttle inputs. When Sport mode is switched on and the vehicle is traveling at a speed of less than 40 km/h (25 mph), this function is activated only after the driver has floored the accelerator pedal or released it briefly.– The rpm limiter characteristic is “harder”. In other words: the engine is immediately throttled when the performance limits are reached (only in manual selection mode on vehicles with PDK).
– PSM (Porsche Stability Management) control is more sporty in “ Sport Plus” mode. PSM interventions are later than in Normal mode. The driver can maneuver the vehicle with greater agility at its performance limits, without having to dispense with the assistance of PSM in emergency situations. This helps to achieve optimal lap times, particularly on race circuits with a dry road surface.– PADM changes to more sporty maps for the dynamic engine mountings to achieve a stiffer engine-to-body connection.In “ Sport” for a sporty driving style, in “ Sport Plus” mode for race-circuit-like driving. – PTV Plus changes to a more dynamic map when “ Sport Plus” is switched on. – The dynamic cornering light reacts more spontaneously to steering angle changes.– The sports exhaust system is be switched to a sound-optimized mode, but can be switched off separately via the button.The Auto Start Stop function and coasting mode are deactivated.fPlease read the relevant chapters.
Overboost function
On vehicles with Sport Chrono package
When “ Sport” or “Sport Plus” mode is switched on and the accelerator is fully pressed, the boost pressure is temporarily increased by approx. 2 psi (0.15 bar) in the medium engine-speed range and the maximum torque increases.
For information on the torque display:fPlease see the chapter “PERFORMANCE MENU” on page 116.
